Dirty Dog Challenge

​​​​​​​ Our popular Dirty Dog Challenge took place on Saturday 15 June 2019.

Jointly hosted by Hamilton City and Waikato District Councils, the unique event saw dogs and their owners navigate their way through a mud-filled obstacle course.

The event, organised as a fun outdoor activity for Hamilton and Waikato dogs – and their fearless owners- was extremely popular with more than 300 dogs taking part in the 2.5km or 6km course. Owners and their dogs climbed, swam and attempted to run over the hills, under the cargo nets and through the muddy pond and swamp at the site near the Waipa River.

All profits from the event went towards helping animals in Hamilton and Waikato District's communities.
